A colleague and I are working with two classroom teachers in Chicago as they introduce their 1st and 2nd grade bilingual students to Color Coded Reading. CCR is a strategy that focuses on students developing higher order questions, especially synthesis and evaluation questions, that relate to text being read. The practice works for both content area text and narrative text making it one of the more flexible reading strategies. More of this project to come in the next few weeks. For now, let me say I am having a ball collecting data on this project. I must be a really good geek to think that data collection is fun.
